"hOpPy" Easter

These kids are absolutely crazy! They all got a new church outfit from the Easter Bunny and aren't they cute! Boys is all I have to say! They can sure infuriate me at times, but I sure do love them!
I don't share my testimony enough with ANYONE, but I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ. I feel that they love me too, and Heavenly Father has given me so much! I know that Jesus died for me and I can return to live with Him. I am grateful for the Book of Mormon and the things that my family and I are learning from it this year. I know that there is a plan for each of my children, Josh, and myself......I know that through our faithfulness we will be blessed! :) I see lots of people interacting with their families, and I know that the plan is in place so we can be together FOREVER! How great a blessing! I love Easter, and the way it can help us all remember what was given for us. Wouldn't it be great if every day was Easter? To all of you out there in Blog land.......as my friend or family member, I love each of you, and only hope that I can be an example to you and your children. In the best way possible.

Happy Birthday Princess!

Hadi is 4! Oh my, where is the time going? She is super sensative, aggressive, smart, fun, loving, beautiful, sweet, tender, mean and sassy. Just like the saying, SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE! Hadlee.....we love you so, so much! Thanks for always being you!

Happy Birthday Jace!

(showing us his pitching stance!)

Jace is 5!!! Oh man! He is so excited to start Kindergarten this fall, and play t-ball this summer, and have a friend birthday party, It's not too hard to make this kid happy!

Jace is our funny little man, always doing something to make us laugh, don't get me wrong, he has his moments of unhappiness, but boy is he a crack up!

Tonight we are having sloppy joes for dinner, cake and ice cream and just hanging out. We'll be planning his friend party at a later date! love you Jace!

Wow! Time has flown by since last May!

Here's just a little of what's been going on in our world.

Trevor took 2nd in the Pine Wood Derby this year.

He HAD to have a Jimmer car, but we forgot to put his #32 on it! oops!

Here is Cole, playing in his 1st tournament! He is on the Fusion team!

(His pants are too big, so he rolled 'em)

This is what we've been up too since last fall, Trevor made the Crush travelling team, and Cole just started last month on Fusion's travelling team. It gets a little confusing remembering every where they are going, and different directions too, but we LOVE it!

Mothers Day...

These little people make life super fun, never a dull moment, hard, and worth every penny!

This morning I woke up to Miss Hadi's smile right next to my face. (bad breath, but worth it!)

The boys heard us giggling and Jace was the 1st boy to come running in, then cole and trevor slowly followed. They asked what we were doing after church, and I said, we're going to Kingston, not church. Then Trevor remembered it was Mothers Day and ran to get the present he made for me. Cole told ME to go get his out of his backpack! I told HIM to go get IT! (terd!)

Anywho, I opened two very special gifts and I love how proud they both were and are of their creations. It is fun to see their reaction more than my own.

I think I am a little TOO hard on these little people and I need to lighten up some. Some of my expectaitons are too much for little kids, heck they're too much for me sometimes.

I've been a little emotional for the past two weeks, and I'm truely grateful for my kids giving me patience. They love me unconditionally, and they are always so fast to forgive~

I am truely grateful to my Heavenly Father for the lives He has entrusted to me, and I only hope that I don't let Him down. I truely LOVE each one of these little spirits!

And I'm really grateful to my mom and my sisters, for showing me love, even though I can get a little moody! They are all great women and mothers! LOVE THEM TOO!

Thanks McKell as well! Thanks for getting me OUT of the house this past week. I really have enjoyed hanging out with you and having some fun time. You are a great mom

and awesome friend! LUV YA!

Maryland....

Isn't she cute.....I had to put a cute picture of the princess on here!

So Josh made it to Maryland. He got in yesterday at about 3:50pm Utah time.
He said it's like nothing he's ever seen, green everywhere. There have been a few mix-ups but things should be settled by Tuesday at the latest. He starts tomorrow selling alarms for AMP.

Josh is a little nervous but feels that he has a lot to work for. We sure are proud of him, sad at times that he's not here, but proud of him for making a tough decision to try something new.


We went to Vegas this past Thursday night, to play all day Friday before he left on Saturday. What a day! We basically walked the entire strip with all 4 kids and NO stroller.
(Who in their right mind makes kids walk that far?)


Anywho...we ate, went swimming, played in the arcade, ate some more, slept and had a lot of fun with dad before he left us all crying in the hotel room Saturday morning. I did take some pictures but they didn't turn out too great:(


So life here is kinda hard for a minute, but I feel like I have a great support group to back me up and help with the kids, and Trevor is being SO helpful. Love that kid!
We should be plenty busy with school, work, baseball, golf, swimming lessons, trips, daycare, friends, yard work, life, life, life, to not cry too much while he's gone! So if you catch me on a rough day, I'm just gonna apologize right now!:)

Today, he's 4!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this little guy!!!

tonight we are going down to st. george to

Pirate Island Pizza,

and having cake and ice cream with the family on saturday!

Happy Birthday Bugs!
